Great Excitement in Wales
about a Marvellous Cure.
Living Six Years without
Going to Bed.

Mr.. EDITOR :--While spending few
days ut the pleasant seaside town of
Aberystwith, Cardiganshrc, Wales, l
heard related what seemed to me either
u fabulous story or marvellous cure.
The story was that poor sufferer who
had not been able TO lie down in bed for
six long years, given up TO die by all the
Doctors, had been speedily cured by
some Patent Medicine. 1t was related
with the more implicit confidence from
the circumstance, as was said, that the
Vicar of Llanrystyd was familiar with
the facts, and could vouch for the truth
| of the report.
Having II little curiosity to know how

seemed 10 them most remarkable cure.

summit of a smooth round hill, over.

years, but Of late their interest had been
